Selling Sex is a fifty minute documentary about an online escort named Megan whose life's mission is to educate people about the value of sex work. With her down to earth attitude and open style, she befriends the filmmaker, an anti-prostitution activist, and takes her on a journey through the world of middle class sex work. Megan calls out our hypocrisy and prudishness about sex and shows how societal stigma and marginalizing sex workers harms all women.From IMDB

In the Philippines, prostitution is not just lucrative business – it's an industry. Hope in Heaven, by filmmaker Meredith Ralston, examines the country's sex trade and the young women it traps. Seen through the eyes of two idealistic female students and a male university professor, the film captures two years of Mila's life and the people who befriend her, the poverty and squalor she lives in, and her hope that one day a foreigner will rescue her. It is poignant and heartbreaking.
